2002 Pioneer Press Treasure Hunt

Submitted by Casey Trauer on

Yes, the medallion has been found, but there's still lots to talk about. Feel the need for more than virtual discussion? Then join the Re-Hash Bash, Sunday, Jan. 27, at noon at Merriam Park in St. Paul.

Ares & Mommy, Not to belabor the point, but St. Anthony has a view of the KSTP tower and the Doppler radar ball.

Ares...Can you put it at Swedes Hollow at all? My only thought was echo = hollow. I'm really caught up with the echo thing.

If St. Anthony works then so does Langford, Desnoyer, Merrriam....

St anthony huh? does it have a Hill? and Trees?

Hell...all the parks have hills if you try to make that clue fit to St. Anthony.

duh. finally i figure out where the echo comes from. lol.

there are some things that could put it in the hollow. the echo, down the hill, there are a couple of cell towers visible from there for being in and on the air. the echo is really critical, because they could have kept the rhythm of the clue (finally nice to see a decently written clue isn't it?) without doubling up the hey hey.

I hate to keep dwelling on Mounds but the echoing thing really fits there too!!

not sure i'm catching your drift, lm.

St. Anthony has trees, is sloped, is bordered by Hunt Pl ("carnival hunter") and Bayless (a bay has a "tide"). St. Anthony is the patron saint of those who have lost (and thus looking) for something. University ("use your brain") Ave is nearby.

I like Mounds, too, LM.

Mounds has that circle thing that you can stand or sit in and you talk and your voice echo's back at you...your the only one that can hear the echo...

Its a stretch on the "tide - bayless" angle.

Guide, what's not a stretch at this point? :)

I just "have a feeling" -- there, that doomed it!

I wish it was in my back yard. I wouldn't have to worry about having to goto the bathroom, what to do with the kds when they get cold or bored and I wouldn't miss any phone calls!!!!!!!

I'd keep thinking of the bigs still.

Wed, 01/23/2002 - 2:38 PM Permalink
My Dalliance

Guide, how about bay=tide and less refers to time?

Does that help? I know it's sloppy, but it's been sloppier.

Mommy, what circle talks back to you? Is it a cave? A bluff? Where are you standing?

Dalliance, et al...its still too early in the hunt to be reaching too deep into the meaning of these clues. Take them for as simple face value, and rest your mind.
